I love to listen to Walter Williams, he KNOWS what he is talking about.

They (the Jesse Jacksons of the world) sure do have the best interest of their people at heart, don't they?

NOT!

I have plenty of friends who happen to be black and conservative, and they all say the same thing: Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are nothing but poverty pimps, and that includes Quanell X(crement) as well.

What you said, and more. I have a niece (she is white) who married a black Air Force Officer. She was very liberal, he was very conservative. He got her to listen to Rush, but she had a built-in negative feeling about him and just 'tuned him out'. However, she did listen to Rush when Walter Williams was guest-host, and was just blown away at his common sense and explanation of economic issues.

She cast her first Conservative vote in 2000 - for Bush.

Then I respectfully have to ask, why do blacks overwhelmingly vote Democrat knowing they are being hurt by their elected officials?

Because it's better than getting beaten and chained to the bumper of a pick up truck, which will happen if they vote Republican. Don't you know? Just listen to national urban radio prior to an election to find out what Republicans are up to. Tom Joyner et al

Funny as heck, too. Usually has Sowell on for an hour.

Year old article. Already posted

Well it should be reposted at least every six months - not annually if you ask me. I know you didn't, but hey.

Seems some got irritable with me for pointing out the repost. Aside from maybe recomending decaf to the irritable, let me clarify that my point wasn't that the thread should be deleted. I was more puzzled that the originating publication [Capitalism Magazine] didn't put the original publish date and source on the byline. It comes off as a bit deceptive - needlessly so.
